There is some truth that I believe others should see.
All the time people keep asking me what i thought vanning is, here is a definition past, present,and future:
PAST-
big or small we all are still equal vanning is ment to be fun and games somewhere where adults can relive there childhood with out taking a step back vannings are where childern can be free to no end and still be safe because everyone has eachothers back we all have watched eachother grow up and seen what they became and wat they became is truely a miracle they all became happy strong independant loving people that share their fun with everyone around them van rallies used to be like a fairytale where u didnt have to worry about anything because everyone around u helped wen i was little i use to think i was one of the luckiest kid in the world because i saw wat vanning was not just the partying i saw wat it truely ment to be a vanner
PRESENT-
lately i have been wondering what vanning truely is i know what it is but for some they are starting to forget Vanning isnt about where u have it fair ground or not its about laying back and having fun with your friends it doesnt matter if you have a van or not as long as ur a vanner at heart When i was younger there use to be no fights or atleast very few but now the older i get the more people seperate vanning isnt suppose to be like high school where you have your jocks preps nerds and others vanning is one giant family that is there to releave you from stress and worries not to create them
FUTURE-
i truthfully can not say that i know what is gonna happen in the future but i do know where it will be based on peoples decissions if we choose to have a stareotypical vanning life style then there will be no vanning left but if we choose to help eachother and not let a few people decide what stays and goes we can save vanning people say look toward the young vanners cus they are the future well here is one that wants to help but never gets a chance to be heard this is my way of being heard take it or leave it its all up to u

I totally agree--I have said that without the freedom of creativity our lifestyle wouldn't have survived this long and we need to remember that we all may be different in our creativity yet one in our efforts then we will be just fine.
Monica, you should be proud of Sylvia, she has said what many can't! And thank you Sylvia for saying so loudly and firmly!
VAN ON Ladies!

Very well stated ! We are doing our best to raise our girls to be vanners, and so far they love the life style.

It's a bummer. We just gotta keep rolling double nickels down the freeway and promote good times and smiles for miles. we can get back on track.
I go to Truck-ins. How about you?
